Ana de Armas returns to portray an assassin in “Ballerina“, the upcoming film in the John Wick universe, set to be released in mid-2025. The film has become one of the most anticipated releases since the launch of its trailer.
Directed by Len Wiseman, this spin-off will also feature Keanu Reeves and explores the world of ballet assassins, connecting with the themes of revenge and artistry that define the main series.
The screenplay is crafted by Shay Hatten and Derek Kolstad, linking the stories from the original installments with new material. It will be interesting to see how the timeline unfolds in this dramatic narrative.
After which John Wick movie comes Ballerina?
“Ballerina” with Ana de Armas is chronologically set after John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and before John Wick: Chapter 4. This means it will explore events that occur in the universe during that time interval.
In theory, it should connect the stories and characters of both movies, so several original actors will be returning for the spin-off. Keanu Reeves, Anjelica Huston and Ian McShane are some of the confirmed cast members.
The protagonist is a young assassin seeking revenge for the murder of her family. The plot explores her journey through the violent world of assassins and her training in ballet, which symbolizes grace and precision.
Although specific details have not been revealed, it is expected to address themes of revenge, identity and the sacrifices made in pursuit of vengeance. It aims to expand the universe by exploring the assassin community in greater depth.
What is Ballerina about?
“Ballerina” follows a young assassin named Rooney (Eve), trained in the lethal traditions of Ruska, who seeks to avenge the death of her family. She embarks on a mission with the goal of eliminating all those responsible.
